[QUOTE="Knight-of-Roses, post: 1628669, member: 2577"] Some background on this Order, please. What do they do? Where do they come from? What is their purpose in your game world? OK, mechanics, first of all, stats are never a good choice for a requirement for a PrC, skills and feats are always better. And these prereqs are really flavorless, they basically say, "You, Monk, take this prestige class, no extra work required." I would add some skill requirements, Concentration perhaps to represent their mental discipline? And feats, like Endurance to represent their physical conditioning. Perhaps require them to have a base movement of 40 ft (30 ft for small characters). An alignment restriction maybe, monks need to be Lawful . . . Why 3 + Int for Skills? It is almost always an even number. Why deflection bonus for their Chosen Weapon ability, would not a Shield bonus make more sense? Why does focused strike ignore Dex and Dodge bonuses? I would see it as finding the weak spot in armor myself. And if it does ignore Dex bonuses, can you use any Sneak Attack damage you have with it? I would restrict it to: only as part of a Full Attack action and only once per round. Flawless Instinct, I like the idea but I am not sure how balanced it is. Overwhelm really should be their 10th lvl ability as it is by far the best ability they have. It also need to be limited by not stacking with haste or any other ability that improves movement or number of attacks. Since this really is a Monk PrC, I would suggest having them continues to gain Monk movement bonuses and AC as they progress (which would allow you to remove the Unarmored Speed ability and replace it with another minor ability). And there you go, feedback. [/QUOTE]
